Marine ply is best, really not that much more money for what you get. Either resin coated wood or glassed over wood is ok for going against the existing trans. Going to have putty in the gap anyway.

Ok,i am learning a bunch...and yes,i will wait tell monday and score marine ply.As far as putty,would west marine surface putty do the trick,or should i be using on of the west systems additives like the silica i just picked up ? Or what do you recommend ? Keep in mind,i didn't even know what tabbing meant tell i went to you-tube LOL.

Resin and silica is a good putty mix. You will learn by doing just like all of us did when we started.

Glue and glass. Then glass some more......Don't be stingy with the resin when glassing over wood...

Voodoo... You can use dowel rod or putty. I usually only apply a max of 2 layers of glass at a time. It assures a good bond.

Right on. I've heard of carbosil before but when I read silica I got to thinking about the 100lb bags I buy and use in my sandblaster and thought what grit? I think there is three avail at my local supply. But it sure aint West systems and its not floury so as you gusy can see im super green with this glass mat work. I'm learning though, thanks for the info
